7) The display will change to show the devices again, still in the P-PRO mode. Repeat steps
4 to 7 until all your equipment is working.
8) Press MAIN to return to the main menu from any setup mode.
9) Test the remote to see which buttons will operate your equipment. For example, if you were
trying to control your TV, check the power, channel up and down, and volume up and down. If
some of these buttons are not working correctly, choose another code for that manufacturer,
or you can program over those not working by using the LEARN mode.
LEARN
The DMC-1 remote can learn commands from other remote controls. This is useful if the pre-
programmed commands do not operate some of your equipment, if certain buttons do not
work, or you want to customize key functions. NOTE: PAGE, MAIN, FAV, M1, M2 and M3
cannot be reprogrammed.
Find your original remote and make sure it has good batteries. You must also make certain it
operates your equipment perfectly. Operate a few commands to ensure that the buttons you
want to program are functioning properly from that original remote.
In the following example, the Emotiva remote will learn the PLAY command from a DVD
remote.
1) Point the DVD remote into the Red IR top window of the Emotiva remote. Place them on a
flat surface, about 1 to 2 inches apart, and avoid bright lighting or sunlight.
2) In the SETUP mode, press LEARN.
3) Select the DVD device button and the display will change to show some common DVD
labels, remembering that there are two pages from which to choose.
4) Select the PLAY button just above the joystick pad. The display will show “READY.”
5) Press your DVD remote’s PLAY button. The display will show “GOOD” if it has been ac-
cepted. If it shows “FAIL,” press PLAY again.
6) Press another button on the Emotiva remote and repeat the procedure until all the DVD
buttons you need are learned.
7) Press MAIN once to return to the LEARN mode, twice for SETUP and three times for the
MAIN menu.
8) Try out the Emotiva remote and see if the learned buttons will successfully operate your
equipment. You may find that some commands cannot be learned. This may happen because
some commands are or too long , too short or simply not compatible with a learning remote
such as the Emotiva remote, but this is very rare.
9) The EDIT command can be used to change the labels if some of the standard labels do not
correspond to your original remote buttons
